Washington leaders report the president held early talks in the capitol with lawmakers to press key bills. He emphasized passage of the railroad vocational education general leasing water power and Porto Rico revenue measures.

Liquor Bill 18 Killed By Vote In Lower House
Absence of nine representatives left the chamber as liquor bill 18 failed to reach a majority of the total membership. The measure would have empowered county boards to revoke licenses for violations of state laws, but many dry supporters and opponents saw little virtue in the bill. The roll call showed extensive attendance with 25 ayes and 14 nays, but two-thirds was not met. Continued discussion on Mercer’s town annexation proposal ended without action, delaying relief for Worland’s sugar factory hopes.
